Question 40591: How many 9 onch square floor tiles are needed to cover a rectangular floor that measures 12 ft. by 15 ft.
12x12=144 inches
12X15=180 inches
Each tile 9 inches
9 divided into 144=16
9 divided into 180=20; 16 X 20= 320 tiles
Is this right? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If each tile is 9x9 inches sq, then you're right. I approached it
differently.
First I convert the floor area into sq. in.
(12ft)(12 in/ft)(15 ft)(12 in/ft) = 25920 sq in
each tile is 9x9 = 81 sq in
25920/81 = 320 tiles
